Information We Collect Automatically As You Access and Use the Sites

Whenever you visit or interact with the Sites or MSMW contents, as well as any third-party advertisers, content providers and/or service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Sites are accessed and used ("Usage Information"). Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, and the preceding page & video views. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if MSMW associates it with you as a specific and identifiable person, MSMW treats it as Personal Information. MSMW also automatically collects your IP address or other unique identifier ("Device Identifier") for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, "Device") you use to access the Sites. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the Device used to access the Sites.

The technologies used on the Sites to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers, include:

Web beacons: (also known as clear gifs) are used in combination with cookies to help Site operators understand how you interact with their websites. A web beacon is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a site or in an email.

MSMW may use Cookies and Web Beacons for a number of purposes, including to:

Study traffic patterns in order to improve website performance, to customize the user experience, and to better match the users’ interests and preferences.

However, these tracking records are performed and maintained in ways that keep the data non-identifiable.

Keep track of preferences you specify while you are using MSMW services.
